303 West 149th Street, Manhattan, NY 10039
The 5-story, 10-unit tenement building at 303 West 149th Street in Harlem, built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. The most pressing concern has been recurring heating and hot water problems, with emergency complaints registered in 2025, 2021, and multiple incidents in May 2021, including violations for inadequate hot water supply in unit 5A and access issues to the heating system in the boiler room.
The building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges with fire safety equipment, evidenced by an active violation from 2022 regarding the disrepair of the fire escape between the 4th and 5th floors, which poses safety risks for both occupants and emergency responders. Recent inspections and violations indicate ongoing structural and safety concerns.
In July 2023, violations were recorded for loose and bulging bricks on the building's facade and problems with window support brackets for AC units, while earlier in 2024, there were violations related to the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection. The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in 2024, showing zero infestations, and passed several rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025, though there was one failure in June 2023 for unspecified reasons. Generally, while the building has addressed many past violations (as indicated by "Closed" status), there remain several active violations concerning fire escape safety and inspection requirements that require attention.
